• What's the difference between an inverter charger and an inverter?

  An Inverter Charger not only converts DC battery power to AC power but also functions as a battery charger when connected to shore power (240v) .

• Can I operate the inverter with a 24V system?

  No, this inverter is designed for a 12V battery system only.

• Can I utilize this 12V inverter to charge my batteries?

  No, inverter is meant solely for converting DC power to AC power. To charge your battery, you would need to consider a Inverter Charger.

• What size inverter should I purchase?

  1. Check your appliances: Identify the wattage rating of each appliance you plan to power. For example, a standard kettle might be 1500W.

  2. Calculate total wattage: If you intend to run multiple 240V appliances simultaneously, add their wattage ratings together. For instance, if you plan to run a kettle (1500W) and a microwave (900W), your total would be 2400W. Therefore, you'd need a minimum 2400W inverter.

  3. Consider usage: If you can stagger the use of appliances to avoid running them all at once, it can reduce the load on the inverter.

  4. Match battery voltage: Ensure the inverter matches the voltage of your battery system. If you have a 12V battery system, choose a 12V inverter. If it's a 24V system, opt for a 24V inverter.

  5. Check dimensions: Verify that the physical size of the inverter fits your installation space. Some inverters can be quite large, so measure your available space accordingly.

  By following these steps, you can determine the appropriate size of inverter to meet your power needs while considering practical factors like battery voltage compatibility and physical installation space.

• How do I connect a 12V to 240V inverter? What cable size is recommended, and is it included?

  When connecting the power inverter to the battery, Renogy recommend to use the thickest wire available in the shortest practical length. The package includes 20mm²*6m cables with battery terminals.

• I want something that can charge my battery, can this inverter do this?

  No, this inverter is designed solely for 12V to 230/240V conversion. Consider an Inverter Charger for battery charging purposes.

• Will this 12V to 240V inverter work with lithium batteries?

  Yes, as long as the lithium battery is rated for 12V applications.

• Can I use the Bluetooth Module to monitor the Inverter from my phone? Which Bluetooth Module would you recommend?

  Unfortunately, there is no Bluetooth Module compatible with this inverter. We apologize for any inconvenience.

• Do I require the BT-1 or BT-2?

  The BT-1 utilised RS232 communication making it only compatible with devices that use an RJ12. BT-2 uses RS485 communication, which is compativle with the Rengoy Communication Hub.

• Are all Renogy products compatible with the BT-2?

  The BT-2 is only compatible with Renogy products that have the RS485 port.

• What distinguishes the BT-1 from the BT-2?

  The BT-1 utilises an RS232 and this is exclusive to devices that support RJ12. BT-2 uses RS485 communication and is compatible with other Renogy products that utilise the RS485.

• Which app do I to install?

  Use the APP or Google Play stores to search for and download the Renogy DC Home App. May 2021 marks the end of support for the Renogy BT App. Kindly take notice of this.

• With the DC Home App, what kinds of data can I keep an eye on?

  Complete control over your solar, energy storage and real-time operation data from the inverters.

• Am I able to view data away from my setup?

  The BT-2 has a range of around 25m.

• How long are the cables running off the junction box?

  There will be 800mm of cable coming off the junction box.

• What is the best way to mount these panels?

  In the accessories list you will find compatible panel brackets, these will be best suited. You can also add a little bit of sika-flex glue under the

  bracket.

• How should I link my system in order?"

  The solar panels, charge controller, batteries, inverter, Bluetooth module, and wirings are all part of the off-grid solar system. Initially, tray cables need to be used to connect the battery to the charge controller. Second, use adaptor kits to connect the solar panel and charge controller.

• What kind of safety features is the Rover MPPT Charge Controller equipped with?

  The battery is protected against overheating, overloading, short circuiting, and reverse polarity. The load is protected against overloading, overvoltage, and overloading, and the controller is protected against overheating. The PV is protected against overcurrenting, short circuiting, and overheating.

• What do the charge controllers for positive and negative ground grounds represent?

  The internal wiring of charge controllers is indicated by the terms "positive ground" and "negative ground." When there is positive ground, all of the positives are hardwired to one another, and internal switching occurs on the negatives. Contrary to this is the negative ground. As long as your solar +/- is grounded exclusively at the charge controller and runs to it, it makes no difference.

• Is there a built-in 30A fuse for the rated 30A load output on the Rover 30A MPPT charge controller?

  No. Always place an external fuse between the batteries and the charge controller. You can compare the charge controller's amperage rating to the battery bank's fuse size to establish the necessary fuse size. For example, we advise utilizing a 30Amp fuse if you have one of our 30Amp charge controllers.

• Which of these MPPT charge controllers would be best if I had two 200W panels? 20A, 30A, etc.

  The 20A type is suitable if you link these panels in series with a 24V system. However, if you were to connect these two solar panels in parallel to create a 12V system, you would want a 30A controller.

• The Renogy Rover 30 amp charge controller can handle how many watts?

  Standard off-grid 12/24V solar panels with high voltage or multiple panels with voltage up to 100V can be used with the Rover MPPT charge controller. Moreover, the maximum combined solar power input for a system using 12V batteries is 400W, and for a system using 24V batteries, it is 80W. This controller, in particular, will greatly boost a solar system's efficiency when the voltage of the solar panels is substantially higher than the voltage of the batteries.

• What is MPPT and what is a solar charge controller?

  Through the employment of the Charge Controller, "solar panel power" is converted into a form that may be utilized by the batteries. Maximum Power Point Tracking, or MPPT, has to do with the solar cell itself. Every solar cell has a maximum power output point that is determined by the cell's output of voltage (V) and current (I). With MPPT, you can be confident that your solar panels are producing as much power as possible at all times. It works very well when there is little light.

• What does the charging controller's 30A indicate on MPPT?

  The maximum amps that the controller can output into the batteries is 30A.

• What benefits can Renogy MPPT technology offer?

  The most sophisticated Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) technology is used by Renogy Rover series solar charge controllers to follow the maximum power voltage point of solar panels as it varies with temperature and sunlight exposure. This technique greatly exceeds conventional PWM solar controllers and guarantees your solar system's maximum efficiency. The broad solar input voltage range of MPPT technology is an additional advantage. Standard off-grid 12 or 24 volt solar panels, as well as high voltage or multiple panels with a voltage of up to 100 volts, can be operated by this controller.
